Customer Review
Smart, Funny, Crisp, Brief.
5/5 Stars
Popular culture is awash with opinion, spin, prejudice and feeling which is too often presented as reason or truth. While no book can hope to cure this illness, Mr. Whyte offers his reader some innoculation against it's most ugly strains. With wit that rarely but occasionally borders on condescention, this book illustrates several of the logical fallicies that are regularly employed by politicians, religous leaders, media talking heads and other major participants in our cultural dialogue. Consistent with the economy of thought this book seems to hold in such high esteem, it is also brief in a way that doesn't leave you feeling short changed. The reader comes away from this book both entertained and a better critical thinker. Highly reccomended.
